What’s the Value of Training Camp?
As the Tsai Ming-Liang said,” I hope they can find out who they are, also find out their strength and weakness. The Training Camp devote a platform for young filmmakers. This soil allows them to reveal their creative ideas and intuitions, confront the doubts and collisions of others, and stimulate the possibility of self-cultivation. As for the result, I have heard the most sentence in the interview, “see more clearly about myself”.
